Cache Memory Book 2ND Editionby Jim Handy
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The Second Edition of The Cache Memory Book introduces systems designers to the concepts behind cache design. The book teaches the basic cache concepts and more exotic techniques. It leads readers through someof the most intricate protocols used in complex multiprocessor caches. Written in an accessible, informal style, this text demystifies cache memory design by translating cache concepts and jargon into practical methodologies and real-life examples. It also provides adequate detail to serve as a reference book for ongoing work in cache memory design. The Second Edition includes an updated and expanded glossary of cache memory terms and buzzwords. The book provides new real world applications of cache memory design and a new chapter on cache"tricks". Key Features * Illustrates detailed example designs of caches * Provides numerous examples in the form of block diagrams, timing waveforms, state tables, and code traces * Defines and discusses more than 240 cache specific buzzwords, comparing in detail the relative merits of different design methodologies * Includes an extensive glossary, complete with clear definitions, synonyms, and references to the appropriate text discussions Book News Annotation:In this update of the 1993 edition--though surprisingly few changes
have been made to the policies used by the processors' on-chip
caches--the author elaborates on the current generation of high speed
processors requiring fewer chips than their predecessors to implement
cache designs. Chapters process basic concepts, RISC processors,
maintaining coherency in single- and multi-processor cached systems,
and cache tricks intended for professionals but hopefully accessible
to others. Includes a glossary.
